Headquarters

IN MAY 2017 WE HAD A POP UP SHOP AT 25 RANKIN AVE IN DOWNTOWN ASHEVILLE AND HIRED OUR FIRST TEAM MEMBERS. WE VERY SUDDENLY GOT ATTACHED TO HAVING A SPACE AND HAVING SWEET PEOPLE SO WHEN WE WERE TOLD IN JULY THAT WE MIGHT NEED TO MOVE OUT FOR COUPLE OF MONTHS FOR RENOVATIONS WE RAN ALL OVER TOWN LOOKING FOR A NEW SPACE THAT FELT MORE PERMANENT. WE COULDN’T FIND ANYWHERE AND OUR MENTOR AND FRIEND JT ASKED US IF WE LIKED THE SPACE ACROSS THE STREET. IT HAD BEEN A BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO FOR 10 YEARS AND WE SAID THERE’S NO WAY THE PHOTOGRAPHER WANTS TO LEAVE BUT JT RANG HIM AND ASKED! THE UNIVERSE HAD A PLAN, THE LOVELY PHOTOGRAPHER WANTED TO TRAVEL AND WE MOVED IN. WE GOT THE KEYS OCTOBER 1ST AND OPENED ON HALLOWEEN 2017.

WE HAD SO MUCH FUN MAKING SOME CHANGES TO THE SPACE.

SEPTEMBER 2019: OUR SPACE HAS TRANSFORMED, WE’VE EXPANDED, MOVED WALLS, MOVED THE SAME FURNITURE 40 TIMES, GROWN OUR RETAIL AREA, STARTED SCREEN PRINTING CLASSES, BOUGHT IN FURNITURE FROM A CLOSING DOWN SEARS…. 43 RANKIN WILL BE OUR HOME FOR MANY MORE YEARS WE HOPE.

EARLY 2020 WE DECIDED TO TRANSFORM THE BACK OF THE STORE INTO AN OFFICE FOR EVERYONE WHO WORKS ON COMPUTERS ALL DAY. THERE AREN’T ANY WINDOWS SO WE TRIED TO MAKE EVERYTHING AS LIGHT AS POSSIBLE!
